Exit Opps out of a Rating Agency - Structured Finance structured, products, research, finance

Hey AF'er

I was wondering if any of you have any input on this -- Would working for S&P or Moody's as an Associate Analyst in Structured Finance group be a good first move out of undergrad? Are there good exit opps? I know rating agency jobs aren't as intense as IBD or S&T but advice from a few on the street is that it could lead to buy side research, Debt Capital Markets, leveraged finance or structured products.... I'd appreciate AF input on this

Thanks!
